Amy's Vegan Day: Peanut Butter Oreo Chocolate Chip Brownie Cookie Bar

If that sounds like a mouthful, it's because it is. A mouthful of awesomeness. A couple weeks ago it was Aaron's favorite holiday. Not his birthday, not a gift-giving holiday...it was his fantasy football draft. I think the fact that he and all of his childhood friends get together annually across four time zones to draft is reason enough to celebrate, but regardless, I wanted to bake for them. While out with some of them the night before I mentioned I wanted to make this dessert, to which one of them responded, "I will eat the s*** out of that." Since the draft Aaron has mentioned about 12 thousand times how good he thinks these are. I can't say I disagree.

Peanut Butter Oreo Chocolate Chip Brownie Cookie Bar (makes 16)

The next four ingredients, x2:
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
Everything else, x1 like normal:
1 Tbls. cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Ener G Egg Replacer
1/3 cup + 2 Tbls. water, divided
1/3 cup sunflower oil
6-8 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup peanut butter, melted
2 Tbls. coconut oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 375 F. In 2 small bowls mix each set of the dry ingredients (the first 4). Ie each bowl should have 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 tsp. baking powder, etc. These will be dry mix #1 and #2.

To dry mix #1, add the cocoa powder.

In a small bowl combine the Ener G Egg Replacer powder with 2 Tbls. water and set aside. In a medium bowl combine the sugar, sunflower oil, remaining 1/3 cup water, and "egg."

Stir in dry mix #1, and then add the Oreos.

Pour into a greased 8"x8" or 9"x9" square baking pan and bake for 8 minutes.

While the brownie part is baking...in a medium bowl combine the peanut butter, coconut oil, coconut milk, vanilla, and brown sugar (This is tasty on its own. Feel free just to stop here and eat it as-is).
